Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

December 12, 1936

Guru, I don’t know why the Mother looked at me like that during Pranam. Was I anywhere in the wrong?

Mother knows nothing about it.

I went over the whole incident [personal] and didn’t find anywhere that I have misrepresented facts.

No.

Or is it because I was bothering myself and you over a trifle?

No.

It was not an illusion. Some meaning was there.

Yes? But then it must have been a meaning in your mind, not the Mother’s. So only you, its mother, can find it out.

Today Nishikanta is better.

Slightly.

And mercury? Its strength is only 1% and used like anything in the hospitals and recommended in books.

Maybe, but many people suffer much from it. Probably the method is to irritate Nature until she reacts? If so,– well!

The D.R. servant seems to have sciatica. Can he be treated with Salicylates?

Try whatever you think best.

Or should he go to the hospital?

I think not.
